Green Lemonade

I’m regularly on the lookout for quick meals. This eggless vegetable burger made with warm sage, crunchy nuts and vibrant carrots is a new go-to of mine. It’s quick to make and it’s also a meatless meal. Here in New York, health beauties are always looking to eat more meatless meals. They believe a few meatless meals each week helps to support vibrant skin and a healthy body. Learn more here.

Directions

In a small skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and sage leaves. When the sage leaves start to look slightly translucent turn off the heat. This should take ~2-3 minutes.

In a food processor, combine chickpeas, carrots, warm sage, thyme, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper. Pulse the mixture until you have a thick, chunky consistency. Transfer mixture into a bowl and fold the in walnuts and almonds. Form mixture into four patties and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat add the butter (or coconut oil). You’ll want a nice hot pan so you can get a good crust on the burgers. Add the patties and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the bottoms begin to brown. Make sure not to flip the burgers too much or else they’ll fall apart!

Serve patties on a toasted English Muffin with a small handful of baby spinach. I like mine with a warm patty of butter and a pinch of salt. Enjoy!
